    Customer would like to program an icon that when a user creates a new Purchase Order...and they press the icon, and email is sent to another user notifying of the new purchase order.  They are not interested in Alerts...just an icon that they press.  To all the script gurus out there.... is it possible???

    Yes, as long as your customer's IT allows it or provides their own SMTP server. I use Microsoft's CDO API which is part of Windows. You could also use 3rd party programs like Visual Cut or LogiCity. Once the customer uses the feature they often ask for more events and that could end up costing more than Alerts. In those situations I have used a UDT to control the event type, destination email address, subject line and body so that the customer can maintain the details and not have to bury specifics in the script.

    Button click to create an Outlook email on the user's workstation should be possible (when Outlook is installed, for the user to click Send), but with only header information included.  A client side button script doesn't have access to business objects so line details would be unavailable to the script.

    You may be able to have the script call a local VB program which would have access to the business objects.

    I have had to make security accommodations to use Outlook. The built in CDO API allows one to specify the From email address and can run on either the client or server side.
